wood stablizing resin

[turnaround360]

Ok I found this guy on ebay who sells the same as cactus juice he sent me this......Hi, a UK gallon is a fraction over 4.5 litres. I can do you 4 litres for £115 including delivery, or 5 litres for £140 including delivery. Thanks for your enquiry.
then I asked If he could discount a bulk buy and he said.....There could be an opportunity for a bulk buy, it would depend on the quantity as to how much of a discount could be applied. Are you a knife maker, or a pen turner, or something else? Just curious!

So my question is is it something we could get involved in and if so who would be interested Frankie.

well 4 gallons delivered to the uk is £272 That cactus juice

 

[turnaround360]

Thats £68 a gallon thought you said it was £98 well lets just see were it goes.

 

[bellringer]

it depends how much you buy that was for 98 was for 1 gallon

 

[turnaround360]

Is the £98 including import duty and delivery .

 

[bellringer]

delivery not import duty

Well i don't believe we know of anyone else here in the UK who sells this .. I wouldn't mind trying him out ...

 

[turnaround360]

Jim did you take a look at it ....if its cheaper to get cactus then do that and split it up but we may be able to get the price down to match it.

 

[bellringer]

have you got a link to it

NO NO NO YES,,, the Americans invented it first and the best............

Did they?

 

[Woody]

Decorators have used it for years to repair window frames and sills put that on first to stabilize the wood then the filler

 

[turnaround360]

Not the same results iv tried it ...it is just an acetone mix it works to a point
but not good enough for what i want.

I have the answer??????????????????
Burn the rotton wood and chop a bloody tree down.
I am in a problem solving mood this morning, is it working here?
I might be getting the sack for some of my solutions at work.

Hi guys. I'm Bruce, the chap with the resin. Forgive me registering just to comment but it seemed like a good idea and I hope I'll be able to contribute to the forums in future... I've been thinking for ages that I should join up here, maybe even try my hand at a pen.

I'm a hobbyist knife maker (I'm packrat on britishblades.com). I bought a bulk load of this resin from a UK manufacturer, the idea was to sell some of it, and use some for my own stabilising service (mostly knife handles/scales) and my own projects. I had to buy a lot because there was a minimum order quantity. So as I said to turnaround360 when he contacted me via eBay, I would be very happy to try and negotiate lower prices for larger quantities, but I can't go that much lower without making a loss! My price might seem high but this resin is expensive stuff. By the time I've bought a 1-litre plastic bottle, and a cardboard box, and then factored in my time to print labels, decant it, advertise it, etc, I make virtually nothing on it, I assure you. Certainly I'm not trying to leverage a monopoly position to charge what I like!

I'm sure the community here is as friendly as it is over at britishblades, so I'd be more than happy to sort you guys out a deal that amounts to effectively no more than it cost me. I have too much, and you need some. I'm not interested in making money off it, I have a day job for that, I just want to cover my costs... so if you are interested, let me know.

Cheers :-)
